ASLR is important, but you should be able to provide the random seed (I don't know if it's possible or not)

It was always the same, Google even lost a big lawsuit because it went too far in doing what the Biden administration was asking.

Twitter and Facebook also did what they ,,had to''.

The thing that's new here is that Antropic's growth rate was so enormous that Dario didn't have time to learn to lobby.

What's interesting is that all big LLM providers figured out that the revenue comes from coding as it can be trained with RL rewards.

It means that most people will never understand how fast the landscape is moving: non-coding and non-homework use cases didn't change that much since last year.

They needed to raise money for the purchase, they just did it (raising from public market)

I guess they will upload it later, it seems like an honest mistake to me.

Anyways SwiTransformer paper looks interesting and doing a post training to optimize for it looks interesting as well.

From what I understand Amazon's lawyer was telling the CEO that it's better to report a vulnerability of a potential cyber weapon (jailbreak) to protect Amazon from liability.

And then US chamber of commerce protected itself from liability as well to take export control law seriously after Antropic's CEO categorized Mythos without the cyber query filter as potential cyber weapon.

The problem here is that there's no real technical way to protect against the queries, just making them more expensive to create, as the models are getting smarter.

Also as the main jailbreak ,,technique'' is splitting the task into subtasks, and the main moat of Mythos is that it can solve more complex tasks, I also wouldn't categorize this jailbreak as serious.

This should be at the top: they uploaded the wrong model, they fixed it

Unlike CZ who allowed money laundering to happen, SBF directly stole from many millions of voters.

Trump looks smart enough to understand the difference in how much political power he would lose if he would pardon SBF.

It makes sense, he stopped contributing to Tesla significantly long time ago (he redirected the NVIDIA GPUs that were supposed to go for Tesla self driving to X.ai).

He wants full control back.

It's very strange web site, something is off with the math, $9B cost of chemotherapy went away too fast.

It's not sabotaging it by using a worse model but by changing your prompt in your background, which means it silently destroys your code.

Also I asked questions about whether it's safe for me for example to work on just compilers or just inference kernel optimizations and it refused to answer me.

If I can't even ask what I can do safely without my code being destroyed, I just can't trust it not to sabotage my work ever.

Of course they are afraid of it, haven't you seen Dario being angry of Chinese companies paying for Claude access (tokens = test cases) and training their own model from those?

I don’t understand one part of the licensing here: if it was just a license, can’t they relicense the software and hardware of LPU3 to AMD? Or hire new software and hardware people?

The new designs were their main asset besides the amazing talent that went to NVIDIA, not the remaining DCs.

The problem is the we couldn’t really tell part. Changes made to mature finished projects should be minimal and readable and understandable by humans.

Also rsync is handling copying binary data, it’s a project that’s super sensitive to hardware faults for example, which means it’s not just enough for the tests to pass.

I think you just implicitly agreed with me that Europe is in proxy war with Russia and it's escalating.
